I'll look into it......when I have time thanks Borge on the good word......I should have an update on the Goth soon. I'm sure I'll have a good day.......I took it off! my annaversary at work is Sept 20th.......I'll get all my vacation time and personal days back. 9 years at the trailer shop.......never thought I'd be there this long. I was hoping to strike it rich before then. oh well.......can't retire yet, so I might as well stay busy and occupy my time, until then. I find it amazing how many friends you can make in a relatively short amount of time.......it's sites like this, that make it all possible. some folks rib the banter......but I can't think of a better way to get to know you all. when this site went down...I was lost......hope it never happens again! so, here's to another year of enjoying the greatest group of friends {and site} that I've ever had the pleasure of stumbling across!

popeye the sailor Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share #382 Posted August 31, 2013 I have an update on the Goth's progress. the bow section got another stay added, using the smaller hearts I made. the block is for a thinner diameter line....I have one more to add for the sheet line. an upper stay was added to the main mast as well....it looks a bit limp, but the back stays will take up the slack, I'm sure. the rigging for the spirit yard was also added.....there are none for the boom yard, at least, none that I can see from the pictures. the plans don't show this yard {not supplied in the kit} I began to rig up the shrouds, beginning with the fore mast. I remembered to start on the starboard side first. the dead eyes all need to be painted to match the chainplates. ....and I began to do the leading shroud for the main mast. after adding blocks on the deck for the mizzen mast, {I saw that there are at least two of them} the mizzen mast was cemented in place. now all the masts are in place. let the rigging comense! riverboat, SkerryAmp, dafi and 5 others 8 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
